Guide Price £500,000 - £525,000 Tucked away in the highly sought-after Badgers Rise, on the edge of open countryside, this sleek and stylishly extended family home enjoys a tranquil setting on the outskirts of the well-regarded village of River.
Beautifully presented throughout, the property has been thoughtfully extended at ground floor level to create modern, flexible living space.
To the front, a welcoming sitting room offers the perfect cosy retreat, ideal for relaxing at the end of the day.
The real heart of the home lies to the rear, where a stunning open-plan kitchen and dining area provides an exceptional space for entertaining friends and family.
The centrepiece is a large contemporary island which is a quartz work top, incorporating ample storage, charging points, an integrated sink and induction hob with downdraft extractor.
The kitchen is impressively equipped with two integrated ovens, including a steam oven, a microwave, warming drawer and a walk-in larder.
Additional features with the home include polished flooring, a remote electric roller door on the garage, and an abundance of recessed downlighting, all combining to create a truly luxurious finish.
Bi-folding doors open seamlessly onto the beautifully landscaped rear garden, creating a wonderful indoor-outdoor flow.
The surrounding gardens are a particular highlight and have been designed with ease of maintenance in mind.
The rear garden features a raised patio area with an attractive circular pool, artificial lawn and raised borders, making it perfect for outdoor entertaining.
To the front, the level garden also benefits from artificial turf, while a double garage offers a roller door, power, lighting and useful eaves storage above.
